-- Ice melts and becomes liquid when its temperature reaches 32°F.
The "warm and sunny day" is certainly warmer than that.

-- Table salt melts and becomes liquid when its temperature reaches 1474°F.
I'm pretty sure the day is not THAT warm and sunny.

omg! i just answered this exact same question last year!!! the salt doesnt melt cuz it is an ionic compound, which needs large amounts of energy to melt. it is simply sunny and warm outside, so it doesnt melt. hope i answered your question! ;)
